last nite i was the guest speaker at a networking event...my stomach was in knots pretty much the whole day...not because i've never spoken in front of a group...but because i haven't spoken in front of a group in a very long time...
i shouldn't have been too nervous...i mean i just needed to speak about what i do...on a daily basis...but i guess it was the standing in front of a group part...that i was focusing on..
i of course procrastinated and did not prepare my talk until the afternoon...once that was done...i felt a little better...
the topic i chose..."being a fashionista in recessionista times"
i have to say...i really enjoyed myself...there was a time...in the good ole days...while working in corporate america...when speaking in groups was the norm for me...
i realized last nite...that it is something that i enjoy...although i get nervous...once i get started...i am fine...yesterday was...by far...the easiest...because i spoke of my passion...
the funnest part was the question's at the end of my talk...the women had some serious questions about their recessionista needs...this is usually the time that a speaker is thinking...hmmm...hope i can answer all the questions intelligently...
phew...i had an answer for each question...the nite was a big success...
i truly love what i do...making women feel beautiful...powerful...through their dress...and although we all know...that beauty comes from the inside out...we live in a world where the outward appearance is what people focus on...
the fact is...that a woman can look incredible at any budget...and i feel that a woman...when she feels good...walks different...acts different...portrays a different attitude...and when i can help facilitate that...well...that makes me feel pretty wonderful...
i think i am actually looking forward to more speaking engagements...
